Alan:

Those are great comments and bring up some valid points. It will be interesting to see how Michael Priestley addresses these in his upcoming DITA workshop -- Introduction to DITA -- at the upcoming DITA 2006 conference this March. I've jotted these issues down and hope to get Michael to address them in the workshop.

Hope to see you there.

I've valued your opinions over the years, but I must take exception to
your assessments of both DITA and DocBook. DITA architect Michael
Priestley (a co-author of the 2001 paper you cited) has more recently
addressed the misconception that DITA is an exchange format, not an
authoring format
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dita-users/message/1081). My anecdotal
experience matches Michael's -- that about half of all implementations
use the DITA DTD "out of the box" for content authoring.
